it's all paedo effect democrat led senate kills republican debt ceiling plan shortly after it was narrowly passed by the house as u.s. default deadline looms. ultra conservative islamists overwhelm egypt's tahrir square demanding sharia law and in the wake of widespread regional revolution israelis take to the streets to protest for social justice. as a number of journalists in the u.s. decreases the public relations sector grows rapidly some say the ultimate victim of the trend will be democracy.

hello and welcome to r.t. a twenty four hour news from around the world the democrat controlled u.s. senate has shot down a republican debt ceiling plan just hours after it was passed in the house of representatives a plan put forward by house speaker john boehner would have raised the country's debt ceiling by nine hundred billion dollars on with a similar amount in spending cuts as the clock ticks down to the second and the debt limit is reached there's less time to avert and on presidents a default crisis which might prompt us to use its top notch credit rating senate democrat leader harry reid it's his proposal to see a compromise which could keep the government afloat and according to economist max wolf this plan is more likely to get the green light. less than two business days

away from the worst self-imposed crisis of america's standing in the world and america's credit rating and at least a century it's a fairly emergency situation and we're deep into the eleventh bordering on the twelfth our debt reduction plan that president obama has endorsed at least rhetorically that comes out of harry reid and the democratic majority in the u.s. senate does make massive cuts in spending more than two point five trillion dollars over ten years so more than two hundred fifty billion dollars a year there's no increase in revenue at all which was one of the early if i think somewhat unwise demands of the republicans in these negotiations and therefore is possible is actually does more to reduce the deficit and the debt in the united states over the next ten years than the rival republican house plan the cut cap and balance plan and so it's possible that could be pushed through none of these plans make real efforts to reduce the long term problem of insufficient revenue and these

plans do reduce spending in ways that will be painful and for many communities in the united states transformative but it's worthy of note and somehow hasn't much been mentioned that not a single plant out there reduces the national debt they just change the speed by which it grows. the politicians battle it out who would be to blame if the american economy hits a brick wall he also lent a from the u.s. space to trends journal says that this will elite recognize simple solutions to this deficit. if country is going bankrupt just look at numbers and numbers. of politicians and look look at the bigger picture first of all they need valuing the dollar and we've been saying it all along go in the last month is gain one hundred fifteen dollars an ounce that's what they're not talking about in all this deficit reduction hey how about the military budget how about slashing foreign aid fifty seven billion dollars

a year how about companies like general graduate that made fourteen billion dollars where if you're a notepad look there's plenty of room out there to start reigning this thing it in turning it around but we do not have a representative form of government we have a government that represents only the very powerful and the very rich and that's all this is about getting then keeping their perks economic illiteracy is sponging america deep into crisis so says max keiser and i'm from expressing the kinds of reports you know it's heat of the world is adjusting the dollar will lose its status as a world reserve currency us debt will lose the aaa rating and it's a completely different configuration and washington is not the biggest player in this if they were being mad as shit by somebody who knew something about economics not barack obama who is financially illiterate they would allow the dollar to collapse against other currencies let the economy go through two or three years of

a gut wrenching depression they come out of it and rebuild but keep their sovereign stands act otherwise america will end up like greece losing their sovereignty america will end up like other countries in the euro zone like ireland that's lost its sovereignty so the i.m.f. and other backing institutions i think most americans would prefer to be sovereign and free than to be a battle state of international bankers. well there august second deadline for raising the debt ceiling in the u.s. is rapidly approaching and there's still no solution on the horizon martinis or hotness them soon and as the president in the streets of new york to find out whether americans feel a financial apocalypse is around the corner. with the looming debt crisis the u.s. is watching the clock tick down to an economic armageddon what does that even mean this week let's talk about that they keep setting dates over and over again and

nothing happened just the negotiation process so it's idle threat. i believe so do you expect more from the people you like. neither party is going to let this actually happen where they would let it expire and then the united states would go into default i don't think that's going to happen i think that's a bluff but i think what actually is at hand is for real in there they're using it as leverage to push their respective issues but i think americans if i'm speaking for myself as an american are sick of it or they don't represent reports that they think that they were representing but i don't i think they keep on saying the american people want us america they want this but i don't think they're asking anybody really what they really want what are you what i would like to compromise right now the drama right now is largely contrite there is a debt crisis but will make it through and you know we'll pay the bills and things will be fine so all this drama i think is just making people crazy why are they doing that now i mean we raise the debt ceiling every year why is this drama

unfolding right now well it's largely political because the upcoming election you know it's a good thing it's finally happening i think the people are speaking up and and hopefully will get our way but sometimes it takes a while to realize how bad things really are i mean nobody is given any ground of so you know you log before for many many years and this is absolutely truly amazing and makes me wonder how they ever get anything done in israel or in italy or any place really have multi parties to parties to an airport. and we can't get anything done it's utterly embarrassing nish will be ashamed of themselves no matter what happens with the u.s. debt crisis the bottom line is we're. alot more pasturing and all the politicians and. also the come on the program uplifting expectations from a plane that should just go to easy as enthusiastic welcome the first steps to

leaving some way. stiction despite. more than a year has passed since the indian government. rights to free education i think helped to bridge a social divide. tens of thousands of protesters gathered in egypt's tahrir square biggest rally since president. months ago but not to screw attendance conservative islamists calling for the introduction of sharia no and mr austin was in cairo says the arab spring has produced a strong and divisiveness and this movement. was a sign that liberal and islam is forces were going to come together to continue to push for basic democratic rights for down in the square i was just before i came here. is a huge number of. muslim brotherhood members the most just like.

the time that i've been here and they many chants of. islamic identity disorder islamic nature of egypt which is causing some friction with the. secular forces who are down normally to secure forces dominate in time look there once you run the run is sitting there for a month since the clashes that happened at the end of june but today. but is that this. but a similar so the rest is occurring in neighboring israel thousands of young protesters pitched tents camps across the country. for social justice and voicing discontent at. a mass rally is planned for saturday as the parents of the participants. still israeli journalist as i saw her israel is edging closer

to revolution two thirds of the poor in israel are working poor people who are working every day people who have a great jobs and still are not able to go above the poverty level so that's a reason that people are coming out of the street if you look at how the protests started it's almost identical to how it started in egypt in internees and other places started through facebook somebody who made a post on facebook through social media that's how people organize or was organized completely in the beginning by the young people in his old student people who feel that they have no future people who feel who can't afford living here and i was realizing that this is not the way to go forward he's trying to figure out ways to deal with it because the government could definitely fold its role and ease the ground and i think he is in danger especially that the process into growing while israel has been under a building in tel aviv in haifa in all these major cities in israel is all have been overbuilding in the west bank focus of the israeli government at the moment is more sustaining the occupation more sustaining the settlement rather than kirin for

the majority of the population who actually oppose that alliance and oppose okee patient and israel proper so that the problem here though is a still many israelis have not been able to make their connection and the more and the sooner israelis make definition realize that their convention affects their daily life affects the pennies that the government spending the money in their government spending in the west bank verses in israel i think you will see a real revolution in israel. more than a year has passed since the indian government announced their own president rights to education act one was aimed at stamping out investor c. and rattling the country's social economic divide the concept was to provide compulsory and free education for all children aged six to fourteen results he's pretty sure it is the school but reform is facing tough challenges. it's dawn in india's capital city of new delhi an eight year old cushy just getting ready for

school while there are nearly two hundred million elementary school children like coaching in india only half that number ever complete the eighth grade most end up leaving school to help their parents with domestic work or to get a job to bring in some extra money made but i haven't studied much that's why i want to educate my children after growing pressure to address the educational disparities in india the government passed and after making it mandatory for all children between the ages of six and fourteen to get a free education it even requires a leap private schools with tuitions nearing five hundred dollars per month to grant a quarter of their seats to students from disadvantaged backgrounds like cushing. and. young. and strong. today there are just as many schools where students have to pay your tuition like this one as there are for equals that are funded by the government

according to the act it's up to the parents to decide where they met their needs to school that means a student like cushy can attend an elite private school if he enters that he wins the lottery and gets into the twenty five percent quota it also means that if government workers are able to identify and successfully enrolled this is cool but aren't attending. schools like the ones pushing its hands now could get overcrowded but the idea of free schooling in india has its opponents with concerns even raised by proponents of the our free schools have no arts aside didn't quality and i think poor parents are much smarter than that. and they want to what degree and quality is something that the principal of cushy school knows has a different definition depending on the school while the teachers want to see their students succeed they believe that integrating indian children from a lower class. into a private school would not be practical little boy basically it's going to have

a very high standard only children whose parents are educated can study in schools like these schools want to maintain their high standards and reputation how can poor people send their children to schools like these because their parents are uneducated even at home there is no one to tutor or supervise their studies or homework it's a position supported by the members of indian society the schools are not meant for them. as many people look. to getting elected in the sense that he comes from around his so probably labor is a what they were there. for to him in that sort of fit into i mean so he would have trouble getting assimilated in spite of the next first option the integration model received for children like cushy education is simply about accomplishing her dreams i want to study till the twelfth grade ten become a teacher. but it's a dream that may just fall through the gap of india's socio economic divide. priya

recent polls show the number of journalism roles in the u.s. is shrinking in direct contrast expanding public relations industry as newspapers across the country clones professional journalists are being picked up the p.r. machine seems pristine for being running out why do some journalists want to be a threat to democracy is. the first. of this little consultancy the. newspapers like the seattle post intelligencer the rocky mountain news and hundreds more have now become relics from the past. slash budgets have stops the presses at newsrooms nationwide. and mass layoffs throughout media have meant far fewer journalists to investigate policy and procedure who are losing their sense of accountability in government in business in our.

life lives if we lose journalists who are now asking questions about what's going on in the numbers particularly dramatic with newspapers where revenue has been cut nearly in half while the journalism industry is shrinking the public relations industry is expanding at one time a one to one ratio between p.r. employees and journalists today that ratio is four to one with p.r. revenues jumping from three point five billion to eight point seven billion dollars journalists are simply overwhelmed by folks who are trying to spin them or trying to create their own story you have to be public relations folks spin doctors if you will driving in the circle john nichols along with robert which has new wrote a book about it the death and life of american journalism in a sense we are becoming one of the most propagandized countries in the world short staffed news stations often use company video news releases or v.n.

a phone from one to another the new regulations allow the so-called looks of occasion mode instead of asking for permission for takeoff from the authorities in theory the pilots can now use the internet for air traffic control of their plants but in reality it rarely works. as you can see there are many through bit in all restricted zones around mosco so it's impossible for us to use notification mode anywhere within a two hundred kilometer radius of the capital. people with the new law dozens of government organisations issue all sorts of contradictory instructions for pilots it's a major disincentive for pilots to make the effort to take to the skies. and that means that russia is missing out on the potential pot of gold will some countries like the u.s. get billions of dollars of small aircraft fees and taxes russia doesn't get a cent. of the current regulations are in chaos and mess we're losing around five hundred billion rubles annually if you're going to pull over many pilots like that
